About this map

Casa Grande and the smaller settlements of Arizola and Eloy anchor this mid-1960s landscape, where desert terrain meets an expanding agricultural and industrial footprint. The Casa Grande Mts dominate the central portion of the map, notably featuring the Casa Grande Military Res and the local recreational hub at Casa Grande Country Club. South of the peaks, the vast Santa Cruz Flats stretch toward Arizona City, illustrating the region's reliance on water management through the Casa Grande Canal and Florence Canal systems.

Industrial activity is evident in numerous Gravel Pits and scattered prospects found along the foothills. Transportation infrastructure is well-defined by the Southern Pacific railroad and a grid of rural roads like Selma Highway and Battaglia Drive. Local landmarks such as the Mtn View Cem and the Radio Tower (KPIV) provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of Pinal County.
